I've done my part to assure that Brandon Phillips remains a Red. I just got done writing a story to run in case Phillips gets traded. Those stories usually never see the light of day. (Somewhere on some hard drive are the the stories I wrote for the 1999 Reds playoff section).

But I digress. I think the Phillips-for-Brett Gardner trade that didn't happen at the Winter Meetings still could happen. Other players may needed to be added, and Phillips would have to agree to waive his no-trade. I'm guessing one phone call from Derek Jeter would do the trick.
